Key Takeaways
- api production-readiness checklist for codecanyon marketplace: treat a bought Android SMS app as a license + ops problem, not a piracy hunt.
- This product (sms-gateway.app) is a hosted control plane plus APK — not that Envato item. Compare contracts honestly.
- Production means Bearer auth, documented send path, webhooks, and a charged phone — not a green admin theme.
- Keys in env. No production secrets in a marketplace “demo.”
- Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit. A CodeCanyon license does not include operator SMS credit.
- Free 300 SMS lifetime on our path is a canary if you switch to the hosted API.
Checklists for CodeCanyon marketplace API production-readiness show up when someone bought an “Android SMS gateway” theme and wants to go live. This page is a go/no-go, not a pirate forum. Our product overview is how an Android SMS gateway works. Hub G: licensing and updates— not crack queries.
Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit.
A nulled APK with a hardcoded key is not “ready.” It is a backdoor with a send button. Pay for a license or use a plane you can rotate secrets on.
SMS Gateway is not a CodeCanyon listing
Live API: docs.sms-gateway.app over app.sms-gateway.app/api/v1. Do not point production at an invented host from a marketplace README. Envato listings vary; verify the vendor you paid.
License and updates, not nulled APKs
You need a license you can show, a path to patches, and a secret you can rotate. Cracked builds skip all three. We will not help you find them.
API go / no-go
| Gate | Go | No-go |
|---|---|---|
| Auth | Bearer (or documented equivalent) per env | ?key= in URLs, key in APK |
| Send contract | HTTPS JSON you can freeze against a spec | Undocumented send.php only |
| DLR | Webhook HMAC or documented poll | Admin table with no callback |
| Phone | OEM exemptions, spare, airtime owner | Demo on Wi-Fi, production “later” |
| OTP vs promo | Separate devices | One SIM for everything |
Bearer JSON vs leftover send.php
If you adopt this API, follow POST /messages. Marketplace items may differ — do not paste our curl into their listener.
Phone ops still ship
Battery, pairing, operator credit. Setup. A marketplace dashboard does not charge the SIM.
When a hosted plane is the gate
If you cannot staff panel CVEs, rotate keys, or get DLR, use a maintained plane and still bring phones. Devices + volume. Download the app.
Checklist
- Paid license; update channel named.
- Secrets in env; nothing in git or APK.
- Send + DLR documented the day you freeze.
- OTP device isolated; canary passed.
- No pirated build.
- On-call owns the drawer and the panel.
Next steps
Fail the gate rather than ship customer OTP on a demo key. If you are on sms-gateway.app, freeze against docs — not a marketplace zip from 2019.
